Technology

Each FVL student is issued a Windows laptop to use throughout the school year both in the classroom and at home. Students also have access to state-of-the-art computer labs on campus for courses that require more computing power than the laptops can provide.

A wide variety of classes are offered to meet student computer needs.

The Microsoft Office suite, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Autodesk Inventor are taught in various courses.
